"We'll dance for her," Kahvi said, and I went and cried, and then I wrote
this:
We'll Dance
A poem of ElfQuest,

We'll dance for you, my friend, we'll dance
The battle's day is closed and done
The shadows chase away the sun
From the shelter children run
To greet the warriors, less by one
Beyond the mountains, dark and tall
The High Ones wait for noble souls
The palace, place of final rest
Is revealed to you at last
Fly there, the battle lust's not fed
We will avenge the blood you shed
We will remember love and care
We will remember all things shared
We will remember hope and glee
And sacrifice, and victory
Stone fists, silk voice and fire eyes
A body in the circle lies.
We will not cry, my friend, no tears
Will mark the ending of your years
Life is good when brief and fast
Memories will serve to last
We will still laugh while we still miss
Life is a storm - and death is peace
Such is the Go-Back way. Time fleets
Waiting bitter - ending sweet
So fly, my friend, beloved once!
Be death well met to mind and sense
The battle day is done, and hence
We'll dance for you, we'll dance
